Pawan Kalyan's OG Fails to Recover Even Half Its Budget at Box Office

Pawan Kalyan's latest action film, They Call Him OG, has failed to impress at the box office, struggling to recover even half of its reported 250 crore budget in its first three days of release.

The film opened to a strong start on Thursday, but witnessed a massive 70% drop in collections on the second day. This downward trend continued on the third day, Saturday, September 27, with the film earning only 18.5 crore, a minimal drop from the previous day's 18.75 crore. The film's total net collection in the first three days stands at 122 crore, a far cry from the 500 crore it needs to earn to be considered a hit.

With an occupancy of just 42% on Saturday, it seems highly unlikely that They Call Him OG will be able to reach the 150 crore mark over the weekend. This is a significant setback for Pawan Kalyan, whose film was expected to be a game-changer and surpass the lifetime collection of Shankar's previous work.

The film's poor performance at the box office is a disappointment, as it was mounted on a massive budget of 250 crore. In just three days, it has managed to recover only 48% of its budget, making it a commercial failure for the actor and the production team.
